This is very good. I know I'll have a hard time leaving everything I know and love when the time comes for me to go to college (I'm only in 7th grade...) A lot of people can relate to this. ^.^ Great job!

this is a great poem. very true, some people don't want to leave home to go away to school. i can't wait! i am just going into high school next year, but htat's not the same. very good!-htank u for the review. i have never read to kill a mockingbird so i am afraid i am unable to understand. sorry. and thank you again- =)

This poem has a very heartfelt tone, and I can sense the speaker's not wanting to leave everything close to her...to leave the security of familiar life. while i can't exactly relate to it (i'm DYING to go off to college myself), you got me feeling that regret through your words. One crtique - in the line "say until next, / time," you shouldn't have the first comma. Other than that your punctuation was pretty good. Thanks for your reviews and keep writing!
